Unlock the second prison

Was the message of the yellow-ribbon initiative. Profound and meaningful.

You know that person whom I thought still held a grudge to me? Well she re-apologized just today. And even though it is slightly insensitive to double post against a 9/11 memorial, I am doing so with deliberation and reason.

Mending. No one should be stuck in the past. Remembrance doesn't hinder progress. And maybe in some ways, the SMS is symbolic in a surprising way that bespeaks the delayed process of healing. Terror, hate, fear, etc. All a rebellion against God. In his glory even the most evil of devils will be destroyed. And in faith you will find all encompassing peace inside and outside. Christianity has been emphasized to me, as about relationships. With God. With people.

An article in the Straits Times contends about the inappropriate response to the 9/11 attacks. How one President decided to retaliate ferociously, in the end ending even more innocent lives. Indeed, perhaps in times of crisis, it is one of the most crucial, the zenith moment to expound faith, restraint, forgiveness, mercy, and grace. The last word, was emphasized during 'a life worth living' today at church.

The example given? A guy punches you. You don't punch back: Mercy. You don't punch back and you tell him its OK, and you believe so: Forgiveness. You do both and buy him an ice-cream: Grace. Simple, and meaningful. Today I will re-dedicate my life to loving all.
